Kyle Stowers LF | MIA
Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Idle versus lefty
Stowers is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.
It appears to be a routine day off for Stowers, as Miami faces Cleveland lefty Logan Allen for Tuesday's series opener. From left to right, Jakob Marsee, Derek Hill and Dane Myers will patrol the outfield for the Marlins. Stowers went 0-for-10 at the plate with a 2:3 BB:K across the final three games of last week's series versus Atlanta.

Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Batting leadoff Tuesday
Perdomo is batting leadoff and starting at shortstop for Tuesday's game versus Texas.
Manager Torey Lovullo has opted to flip-flop Perdomo and Corbin Carroll in the order, moving Perdomo up from third to leadoff. Both players have been on a tear of late, but Carroll has particularly shown more power, with four home runs over his last five games. Perdomo is slashing .435/.536/.652 with one home run, three RBI, eight runs scored and a 5:3 BB:K over the last seven days. Perdomo's strong on-base skills make him an ideal candidate for the leadoff spot.

Corbin Carroll RF | ARI
Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Moved to third in order
Carroll is batting third for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.
Arizona is swapping Geraldo Perdomo and Carroll in the lineup, with Perdomo moving up from third to leadoff against Texas righty Jack Leiter. It's unclear if this is a permanent move, but Carroll has been hitting for big power this month, with four home runs in his last five games. The Diamondbacks apparently want more thump in the heart of the order, and Perdomo's strong on-base skills make him an ideal leadoff hitter. Carroll is slashing .269/.321/.769 with four home runs, seven RBI, seven runs scored and a 2:9 BB:K over the last seven days.

Rockies' Ethan Holliday: Making Single-A debut Tuesday
Holliday will make his Rockies organizational debut with Single-A Fresno on Tuesday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
The Rockies used the fourth overall pick on Holliday in last month's First-Year Player Draft, and he's set to make his organizational debut with the team Tuesday. The Grizzlies have 21 games left in their season, and the 18-year-old Holliday will get a taste of professional ball before the conclusion of the 2025 season.

Daniel Robert P | PHI
Phillies' Daniel Robert: Set for rehab assignment
Robert (finger) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.
Robert was placed on the 15-day IL with a blister on his right middle finger, which he suffered July 30. Robert has pitched in 12 games out of the bullpen for Philly this season, logging a 5.79 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 12:8 K:BB across 9.1 innings of work.

Lars Nootbaar CF | STL
Cardinals' Lars Nootbaar: Sitting out Tuesday
Nootbaar (knee) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.
Nootbaar fouled a pitch off his knee in the third inning Monday and was eventually replaced by Jordan Walker later in the contest. He'll continue to rest Tuesday, as the Cardinals face left-hander Kyle Freeland. Walker is in right field and batting sixth for St. Louis. The Cardinals face another lefty in Austin Gomber for Wednesday's series finale before an off day Thursday, so Nootbaar could rest until the weekend.

Brendan Donovan 2B | SEA
Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Back in lineup Tuesday
Donovan (groin) is back in the lineup and batting leadoff Tuesday against the Rockies.
Donovan hasn't started since last Friday, but he did pinch-hit Monday against the Rockies, delivering a go-ahead two-run double in the bottom of the eighth inning. The All-Star second baseman is slashing .280/.351/.406 with 25 doubles, nine home runs, 45 RBI, 57 runs scored, three stolen bases and a 40:61 BB:K across 467 trips to the plate this season.

Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN
Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Out of lineup Tuesday
Hayes is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.
Hayes is slumping at the dish, slashing .136/.174/.182 with one double, one run scored and one walk across 23 trips to the plate over the last seven days. Santiago Espinal will start at third base and bat ninth against left-hander Ranger Suarez on Tuesday.

Mark Vientos 1B | NYM
Mets' Mark Vientos: Remains on bench Tuesday
Vientos remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.
Vientos hasn't started three of the Mets' past four contests and appears to be falling into a reserve role, as Brett Baty is starting at third and batting ninth Tuesday while Starling Marte handles DH duties in the sixth spot in the order. Vientos has a .191/.269/.191 slash line across 11 at-bats over the last seven days.
